Worthy
Do you know how worthy you are
Well, just look about you
Look close, look far
You’ll see trees, lakes and mountains, the sun, moon and stars
That, my friend is how worthy you are
Know in your heart, that this paradise golden
Was created for you, in times so long ago, olden
And there was no test you had to take, to know if this, your home, you should make
For the Creator, knew the master plan, that the space needed to be oh, so worthy of man
Yet, there are times, in this space, we feel so lost
As though we haven’t the money to cover the cost
Of the splendor around us, those vast open spaces
We long to retreat to our hide away places
We want to punish ourselves for we think we are less
Than all that surrounds us; with all we’ve been blessed
And then we get to feeling smaller than small
Worries and burdens loom so very tall
It’s hard to remember to simply close our eyes
And go to that still, small place inside
To find the peace and love that we truly seek
And grow beyond the illusion of being weak
For you are the container for the world’s greatest riches
Held together without staples or stiches
You were entrusted with a glorious spirit, a beautiful soul
Which are more valuable than all the world’s gold
More perfect and awesome than all we can see
For you were blessed with the opportunity, just to BE
Life is the most intoxicating of perfumes and you, the finest of jars
And that, my friend, is how worthy you ARE!
